Before Applying Postage
Selecting a Class or Special Service
Selecting a class is a required action in order to generate the
appropriate rate for your mail piece. The procedure for setting a class
special service or carrier depends on whether you enter the weight
of the mail manually or use the interfaced scale to weigh your mail
piece. Each class has its own set of special services. When you
select a class only those options available for that selection appear
in the display.
Your system automatically calculates the correct postage for your
piece of mail based on its weight and the class of service you select
Before Selecting or Changing a Class
Before selecting a class or special feature, please note the following:
• The class that appears in the Home screen is the one you last
selected.
• If you turn off and then turn on the power to your system, the
previously selected class automatically clears.
• If you place a piece of mail on the scale, or enter a weight
manually, the system automatically prompts you to select a new
class if the new weight requires a different class.
• If your system has an attached scale, we recommend that
you turn the AutoScale option ON. Refer to the Setting Up an
Attached Scale section in
Chapter 10, Scale Options
of this
guide.
